Comedian Lee Su Geun has given up his role on the second season of KBS2’s “Invincible Youth” in order to take care of his wife, who is recovering from a severe case of toxemia.

The host of the show recorded his final shoot yesterday, but said that he would continue appearing on “One Night, Two Days.”

“I want to become a better husband by being there for my wife, who is unwell,” Lee said. “Also, I thought I’d like to devote myself wholly to filming ‘One Night, Two Days.’?”

Lee’s wife, Park Ji Yeon, recently uploaded a picture of her family on her Web site where she could be seen wearing a face mask.

Last year on an episode of “Lee Mi Sook’s Bad Scene,” Lee Su Geun shed tears while talking about his wife. Her health deteriorated after she gave birth to the couple’s second child. Park received a kidney transplant but suffered from side effects of the procedure.
